92% of kids have computers by 2 years old. Must prepare students for their future, not our past.
E books outsell books. Half of courses can’t be on line. Redesign.
87% teen’s text. Iowarankings are consistently low. 8% graduate with degrees.
Things are constantly changing in the world and in the classroom. Technology is taking over in all aspects of life. We need to work to push students to think above and beyond.
IPad and App Explosion. Spam and viruses. Facebook explosion.
Most Iowans do not have bachelor’s degrees.
Spending less on technology than we did before. Rankings – we are not where we should be 35th -40th. We need to catch up with technology to prepare students for the future.
Why do we spend less on technology today than we used to? How can we utilize the technology students have at home at school? How do we teach these high level skills?
Lower level thinking – we need to escape and work on critical thinking. Overload: NOT
Do you see what our kids are doing? Disgraceful-Iowa Rankings.
Less and less manual jobs are available in theUSas they are being outsourced toMexicoand other countries. Tech world and still paper pencil schools. We teach “recall” vs. problem solving.
Most of our classroom work time spent on low-level thinking. Kindle etc… are replacing books.Iowaalmost last in entrepreneurs. Only 25% of Iowans have a BA/BS degree.
Where we ranked with things. Lack of spending.
Surprise by howIowaranked in entrepreneurial growth. Only 25% of Iowans have a bachelor’s degree. Growth is mobile apps is amazing 3million - % billion.
Print is dead. Losing jobs overseas not are according to vocational. Farms consolidating – fewer opportunities.
5 billion Apps. Information has changed our lives. Losing jobs to other states, countries. 37% of Iowan’s goes on for a BA. 5x basic skills than deeper critical thinking level.
Growing at such a great pace – how do you keep up? Have to teach kids to be thinkers and solvers. It’s a whole different way of thinking and teaching.
